I think the majority of them are glad Saddam is gone, but as of yet, many of them still don't seem to want to fight for their freedom. Fighting for freedom always got one killed before in Iraq, and besides their a lot more free already then were before. Also the Baathists mainly operate in the area between Baghdad and Tirkrit where they actually have some support. If they tried to operate in the South or even more in the Kurdish areas they would probably face local opposition but the Shiites and Kurds aren't willing to hunt them down across the desert. But we don't really need Iraqis to hunt down the Baathistts, we just need intel on the Bathist and Iraqis to do policing work and some local security. We need the Iraqis to help us find the Baath party militia and operatives more then we need them to go out and fight right now. Tim
